An update on changes to Free Time and Fridays in GT

Beginning in January our school will be having FIT time Mondays through Thursdays. This means that there will be no FIT, and no GT, on Fridays. This change puts Bridge Point in alignment with the FIT procedures practiced throughout the district. It will bring about some changes to GT that I want to explain to you in detail.

Just because we don't have class on Fridays doesn't mean we don't get Free Time! In fact, students will earn their free time by working diligently on projects for four days of class. The fifth day will be their Free Day. I will do my best to let you know when the free days are by adding it to the What We Learned Today message. The day before the free day I will add it, that way you can join us for free time if you want to!

In order to find out what your child will be doing on Fridays during FIT please consult their homeroom teacher. Each grade level and homeroom teacher has their own plans for that time slot.

On Fridays I will be teaching lessons to homeroom classes that inspire creative and critical thinking. This special class, called The Bobcat Brain Gym, is a way to infuse the learning of all Bridge Point students. Homeroom teachers will sign up to bring their classes to the Brain Gym a few times a year.

​I am happy to answer any of your questions and address any of your concerns - just send them my way!
